 About Dr Phoebe Noble

Phoebe has a particular fondness for treating all stages of one’s pregnancy journey. She understands it is a challenging, unique and inspiring time in a women’s life and finds being able to support, educate and improve wellbeing for these women very rewarding.

Phoebe graduated from RMIT with degrees in Chinese Medicine & Health Science (BAppSc).

Phoebe has special interests in:

• Pregnancy

• Post-natal

• Paediatrics

• Fertility

• Digestive health

• General wellbeing

Phoebe was born into a healing environment in the Adelaide Hills. Health practitioners from various modalities continually visited, using the home as a venue to run workshops and to share their expertise. This exposure, combined with her father’s emphasis on the power of the body to heal itself created the grounding for her later passion for medicine.

Life took Phoebe on many journeys, including seven years in Cork, Ireland. It was here she focused on massage, gaining valuable skills in that field.  In order to expand her practice, she then chose a course in Acupressure.  During these studies she discovered that the philosophy, language, culture and practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine resonated strongly with her beliefs.  Accordingly, she returned home to Australia and headed to RMIT to complete a double degree in Health Science and Chinese Medicine.

She understands that people often have numerous related complaints so treats each patient holistically in order to help them achieve balance within themselves.

Phoebe’s approach is empathic, warm, calm and professional and she tailors her treatments to each individual and provides an environment, which allows her patients to be heard.

She looks forward to meeting you.

What to Expect

At Embrace Acupuncture, its about so much more than reducing your symptoms… It’s about finding the reason why they occurred and working to treat both symptoms and the cause for longer lasting relief.

To do this we take an integrative, whole-person approach finding out exactly where your health is at.

After booking an appointment, a comprehensive intake form will be emailed to you. We appreciate the forms completed two days before your first appointment to allow us time to read and have a good understanding of your overall health. We also ask you attach or bring in any relevant blood tests or scans for a more comprehensive understanding of your current health needs.

In your appointment your immediate health concerns will be discussed, blood tests and scans reviewed as well as your overall health discussed. We also look at your tongue and feel your pulses to help ascertain where your body is at and which Chinese Medicine pattern you are presenting with. After reviewing your unique information and needs, we discuss with you the recommended treatment strategy including if herbs or supplements are needed.

Then its time to lay back and enjoy the beautiful, relaxing treatment that is Acupuncture!
